STATEMENT

I believe that quality education for our children is the foundation for a productive future society! I am committed in supporting the new superintendent on maintaining effective education programs and restructuring what is ineffective. One of the primary functions in being a SC member is to focus on developing and referring to policies, and not on micromanaging the superintendent. We can achieve better unity; by hiring an experienced, visionary superintendent- who will lead the way. Subsequently, the people should expect the SC to design appropriate evaluation tools that will guide and hold administration accountable when necessary. In addition to getting back-to-basics with policies, I would like to promote transparency and working cooperatively with board members on decisions based on research and fact, not emotions.

Some things for you to consider on Election Day, May 12th. Is my experiencing in knowing the whole system; as a parent of children that began from pre-k through graduation, including a child in special education; I can bring a unique perspective.

I am pro-education and will ensure that we keep effective programming that is beneficial to our children and staff, and that quality education can be fiscally responsible! I will vote for shared positions with the region as it was promised to the tax payers and will support restructuring administration roles before reductions that will have a negative impact on our students.

Last year, I tied in both the election and the recount. This year make your voice be heard and vote! Thank you for your support!
